Help me save Cookie the clown

[jester]

I brought all my fish to my lfs to babbysit them for a week while I moved. I stopped in to check them out and found my clown (Clarkii) swimming sideways at top. I brought them all home, and even picked up a korean angel. (I have ALWAYS had good luck from this lfs). Well it's been a few days, and he is still swimming near the top. All parameters are good, and everyone elese is fine. I'm not real good with diseases, but he has no visible signs of distress (other than the obvious lack of direction).
Any Ideas???

I'm not sure whether this is the cause or not, but I just read something about swim bladder infection, or something similar to that. I am not familiar with this disease. I just read that from a book. The symptoms seem to match, swimming side ways. This bladder is the one that help fish balances its way, and swims up and down. I don't mean to scare you, but what I read is this disease cannot be cured (from the book). Some fishes got through it, but live with the same condition.
However, I just did a search on google on this disease, and found one on bettas. It's on freshwater, though same disease, I think. Well what it says is this disorder is curable. All you have to do is cut down on feeding. According to one of the websites the bladder infection is caused by overfeeding.
I hope that helps for now. Wait for the others to answer this. I love Clarkii so good luck on saving him.
